Jerri asked Phaedra Patrick:

When I started this book I expected it to be about "magic charms". However, in spite of being completely different than I had expected, I was "charmed" by the book. I think Arthur's "story arc" seems pretty complete, and I know, however his internal journey continues he will be happy, so he wouldn't make as interesting a story in the future. Or can one write a good novel with out conflict?

Phaedra Patrick Hi. That's a great question Jerri. Apologies for my late response, I've just returned from a family holiday. A few people have asked for an update book on Arthur's journey, however I agree that he would need another quest to go on or conflict to tackle. I think that all books and novels need an 'inciting incident', something that takes the character from their normal existence, to make a decision and propel them into some kind of personal (internal or external) journey. I do have further ideas for Arthur in my head but book 2 will follow a different character and situation. Thanks for asking...
